LEADING MAN
Sunny Deol
At a time when the box office power of Hindi cinema's legacy stars has been under scrutiny, Sunny Deol's riposte is emphatic: delivering the most unexpected monster hit of the year. It has been exactly four decades since Deol first broke through with Betaab. What the incredible success of Gadar 2-which released an incredible 22 years after the original-underscores is the visceral connection that an older generation of actors continues to have with their audience. An emotional bond that is unique, rare, and steadfast.
FASHION PERSONALITY
Rahul Mishra
Few have done more to put Indian fashion on the global map. By elevating local artisanship and placing it at the centre of his Paris haute couture collections, Rahul Mishra has won over some of the fashion world's most discerning, influential individuals. Yet along with his renowned embroidery, what is equally impressive is Mishra's progressive attitude towards the craftspeople he works with.
OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT
Alia Bhatt
From being named Gucci's first Indian global ambassador to foraying into the global arena with her first international Netflix project, and then delivering a stellar performance in the hit film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, 2023 has belonged to Alia Bhatt.
ACTOR OF THE YEAR
Shahid Kapoor
Throughout his career, Shahid Kapoor has embraced nuanced, morally grey characters-an impulse that is rare among stars, and one that has paid off handsomely. This year, he's taken things up several notches: In the superhit series Farzi, Kapoor delivered the performance of his career-displaying both immaculate control and volcanic volatility-a breakout role that fittingly marks his 20 years in cinema.
